Recently crowned Eastern heavyweight boxing king, Dra zenovich stated that he thought he lacked sufficient experience to compete against the country's best collegiate boxers. Drazenovich said: "I don't think I'm good enough to win the Na tionals, and besides that, I have too much studying to do. I'd have to leave Wednesday and would n't get back until Sunday night. I'd get way behind in my work." Lion boxing enthusiasts tried to urge Chuck to go to the Na tionals. If he won they said he would get a chance to try out for the U. S. Olympic boxing team. To this Drazenovich an swered: "I don't think I would have a chance to make it. I'm playing it smart, just like a poker player— he quits when he is ahead. Well, that's what I'm doing. I'm hang ing up thin gloves while I'm UP FROM THE RANKS To ORGANIZE, PLAN, AND DIRECT the telephone busi.l ness—a business with its roots in so many communities throughout the state—hundreds of men and women, skilled in the complexities of telephone work, are required. It is these men and women—telephone employees at various stages of their eareers----who, side by side with all employees, accept the responsibility of providing you with good telephone service at low cost. "Up from the ranks" is a familiar phrase to tele phone people, for each of them knows that the op portunity to assume ►core and more responsibilities is open to all and that those who come up from the ranks earn, by their own abilities, the rewards of promotion for good work well done.

THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY ahead. I don't even think I'll box next year." With Drazenovich out of the picture, Johnny Benglian will carry the Lion's hopes for a Na tional boxing crown. The game southpaw 130-pounder will com pete in the 127-pound class since the National tourney this year will observe the Olympic weight classes. Said Benglian, "I feel that I have a good chance. I believe Virginia's 'Bat' Masterson is one of the best boxers competing in my weight at the present time but he won't box in the Nationale' (Masterson, the present 134)-pound EIBA champ, will be unable to compete because of a freshman ineligibility rule.) Diminutive Freddie Smith, Lion 125-pounder in regular dual meet competition, will compete in the 112-pound class. Bob Keller, Lion 165-pounder, will be the Baal Lion entry in the Nationals. Nittany Lion tra c k coach, Charles (Chick) Werner, is a former University of Illinois hurdler. Gerry Karver, Nittamy Lion National outdoor mile champion, began his schoolboy career as a high jumper. oui 5 STI I l i I s,:co OF PENN SIiLVANIA i.[c i t..,
